Fascia Tantra

Women's rules different and men's rules are vastly different. Men's rules make religions, governments, and wars. Women's rules make babies, families, and communities. The time has come to play by some of the women's rules - we've spent a few thousand years doing it men's way, and we have a little too much war, inequality, oppression, religion, and government.  We need more peace and less war, we need more women's rules and less men's rules.

The trouble is women dont mean what they say. Women trust their bodies, their feelings, and their intuition much more than their thoughts, which is where words come from. Men, who are much more stuck in their heads, believe their thoughts, and thus their words, much more than their bodies and their instincts.

Consequently, men believe what women say, even though what women say is often and regularly not what women mean. For women, the somatic truth changes from moment to moment, so what they said in the past has no relevance to the present. Men are less instinctive and more logical, so the theoretical "truth" is memorized and frozen in memory, long after it stops being true. So men "stick to their word" while a "women's prerogative is to change her mind".

Men need to stop believing what they think and say, and start listening to what they feel. This requires a lot less caffeine! It matters, cause we need to make peace between the sexes if we are to have peace in the world.

In medieval times, when Da Vinci and others were dissecting bodies for the first time in the modern era, they would dissect anatomically following the line of least resistance.   By following the line of least resistance, the anatomists were cutting through fascia - the web of connective tissue, today called the "organ of posture", that holds all the parts together.  The anatomists disregarded fascia, didn't even realize it was there - they just cut through it on their way to the more exciting stuff.  Fascia is the interconnectivity of the body - it is the conduit through which separate parts relate.  Fascia is the perfect metaphor for tantra - tantra is not this or that, but the technique by which this and that relate.  Tantra is the technique by which opposites relate.  Tantra is the healthy relationship between self and other.  

Without it, we end up living in a world of poor, nonexistent, or armored boundaries - we are condemned to fear the other, and/or get exploited by the other.  In the modern West we are required to close our hearts to have safe (invulnerable) sex,  or we are required to close off our sexuality to have safely open hearts.

Relatives, making babies is only worthwhile if we have a sustainable civilization to pass on to them.  We are responsible for healing ourselves and our invisible wounds, that we might heal the world, to make it a safe place for babies to be born into.  We are responsible for healing ourselves sexually and somatically in order to be whole.  We are ready for a new paradigm - the public is clamoring for a viable alternative to our present unsustainable culture.  Relatives, we are ready for a new Way - there is huge market demand for a compelling vision of sustainable civilization.  And it all must be based on our relationship with ourselves, healed through meditation, and our relationship with other, healed through tantra -
